I couldn't find a -5 stars. The lowest I could find was 1 Star. Read on....

This is not a Jewish-Sicilian cook book. It is a combination of boring stories and Italian recipes. It is a Jewish as "Rosy O'Grady's Passover Specialties." Would any Jew buy such a piece of work? Jewish comedians excluded. They need this material more than the kitchen.

Here is an example from one of the recipies entitled "....Signature Spaghetti". 1/2 Beef bouillon cube with Parmigiano-Reggiano? What Kibbutz did this author live in? And all the other Sicilians are saying rosaries over the use of "beef bouillon cube".

The author does a disservice to both the Jewish and Sicilian community by trying to parade her writings under this title.

Don't waste your money. The book is a sham.

The book title was very miss-leading as the author was not Sicilian ( her husband was a Sicilian and not Jewish ) and had several recipes that were not kosher in the book. I would not have purchased this book if I had known that the author was not a Sicilian or born in Sicily and had put in some non-kosher recipes.

This is an awesome cook book and I really enjoyed the pictures. I have been a fan of Pamela's for many years since the Buck Roger's and Matt Houston days.
